Answer:

Margin error=3.3574

Confidence Interval = 37.1274

Explanation:

For confidence level 1-a

(90/100)= 0.9

1-0.9= 0.1

za/2 =0.1/2

0.05

Therefore using the z-score table

0.05 =1.645

The margin error is:

1.645×15/Sqare root of 54

=1.645×2.041

=3.3574

Confidence Interval

33.77- 3.3574= 30.4126

33.77+3.3574= 37.1274
